I would have written sooner, but I’ve been helping tend to the many injuries suffered by the various members of the Wheatus touring party. During that time we’ve traveled to an played York, Manchester, Stoke-On-Trent, Sheffield, and Kingston-All-Up-On-Them-Thames. Fan videos abound. I am certain also that the twittersphere is bloated with errata regarding our goings-on. What I bring to you here is something you can’t get anywhere else: the inside scoop. Would you like sprinkles with that?

Wheatus Tour Diary: Cardiff, Barnsley and the Space-Time Continuum
I had heard from veteran touring musicians that life on the road became a haze of gigs and sleeping, that time became an elusive nymph, always laughing at you from right around the corner. “Balderdash!” I retorted. “I always know what day it is and what city I’m in.” I sit here now with my tail between my legs, recently informed about how ignorant I really was. For example: today, I called my lovely girlfriend Penelope at around 7am to wake her up and wish her a lovely day at work. “Why?” she responded groggily. “It’s Saturday.” My world as I knew it was turned upside-down.

Today I saw a man with a goat: a goat with a coat. In front of a moat! I kid you not! Such are the wonders that await people who visit the lovely Welsh town of Cardiff, as we are doing right now. I have little doubt that Dr. Seuss frequented this little hamlet where they spell Wheatus “Cwkzydd.” Britain is such a strange place! And we are here. By “we” I mean Wheatus, MC Frontalot, Math The Band and City Stereo. We travel in two enormous double-decker buses from quirky little city to quriky little city in the name of rock. You are probably asking: how did this come to pass? I will tell you, in as succinct a manner as possible.
